A Living Staircase

Paul Cocksedge Studio imagined a spiral staircase with isolated areas to read, think, draw, relax and drink tea. Each level represents a break for employees of this open-space located in Soho (London). Amid a swirling ramp filled with plants, similar to a “flying garden”, the staircase, 12 meters high, has a floor with light Zettel 6 designed by Ingo Maurer and another with a library. The designer said: “If the concept of stairs is going to a point A to a point B, then, there is now a possibility to visit other points and breathe new universes between the two”.
